Re: Off Topic 2016: Doe A Deer A Female Deer

Got put on the jury for 3 days the first time I ever had it. Second time I was there 2 days before Thanksgiving and I was done in a half hour, and the third they just rescheduled me twice and excused me entirely. I like to think of it as karma for getting stuck there the first time I ever had it.

I've been summoned half a dozen times I think. Lived in a smallish northern CA County for 5 years and got summoned 3 of them. Never actually had to go in though. Everytime I called the phone number each morning I'd be put on standby to call the next day till I was eventually dismissed.

I been told it can be fun (?) the first time just to see the process and see what's it's like. Especially if you get an interesting case.

Working at a news station, I'm almost always automatically disqualified.

Re: Off Topic 2016: Doe A Deer A Female Deer

Had to go once last winter break. I first got my jury duty delayed from September because I was teaching at the time, so I waited till around December 21st or so, I believe.

Got called into the courtroom with dozens of others (I want to say nearly 100, seriously), and sat and watched many people before me go to the juror's bench (or whatever it's called) until time ran up for the day. I went in the next morning, and a half hour rolled by before they opened the doors and said, "It's possible you all might be going home." Five minutes later, it was official.

Whatever happened, I'm guessing the guy entered a guilty plea. It was kind of tough because he needed a Spanish translator the entire time, so I don't know if maybe that communication took a while for them.

Re: Off Topic 2016: Doe A Deer A Female Deer

I wish I could get selected...

I did it once. I hated it. Never want to do it again.

I got put on a trial jury once and it was a petty trial...a sister accusing the brother of assault or something. After 6 hours of testimony, we get in the jury room and the foreman guy asks: "Anybody think this is a waste of time?" Every hand shot up immediately and within 5 minutes we're all going to our cars to leave.

I got paid $12 to waste 8 HRs of my life.

It would suck to have to do all of it to not even go to trail but I think it would be exciting to be part of the jury.

Had jury duty once, got somewhat far, even made it on to a jury selection before being pulled off. Spent about a day there. Pretty sure it was a sexual assault case of some sort. I was kinda excited to do my civic duty and get out of work for the day but now that I've been through it, I'm good. Ha

Re: Gamefly

The game I originally signed up for the free trial for finally became available... just in time for the trial to end. Cancelled today but have 7 days to return the game which should be arriving tomorrow. Takes 2-3 days to ship to/from, so I've got about 2 days to play and make a decision on if I want to buy it or not.

This is why you should have been a lawyer . You can get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to waste your entire life . And everyone elses .

Re: Off Topic 2016: Doe A Deer A Female Deer

Yeah, I have no idea what kind of case it is, only that it is in the Court of Common Pleas next month. I'm thinking I probably wouldn't get selected though on account of my hearing and vision impairments.

Re: Off Topic 2016: Doe A Deer A Female Deer

random QOTD, er QOTN I guess,

Who is the most attractive female from a sitcom? or the most crush-worthy girl.

actually, include guys too, don't want to discriminate anyone

I nominate Kate from Drew Carey, always loved her. There have been so many beauties over time I'm always curious who had crushes on who.

Gotta figure Rachel from Friends is up there.

[Madman55]

Re: Off Topic 2016: Doe A Deer A Female Deer

Besides Rachel, I'd say Chelsea (Jennifer Taylor) or Kandi (April Bowlby) from Two and a half men are up there for me.

EDIT: Not a sitcom but, Dr. Cameron (Jennifer Morrison, my avatar) from House as well.

Re: Off Topic 2016: Doe A Deer A Female Deer

Rashida Jones from The Office and Parks & Rec.

Speaking of the Office, Pam wasn't that bad either.

Also Kaley Cuoco from BBT.

excellent nominations, I'm actually kinda mad at myself for not mentioning Pam and Karen lol

If we throw cartoons into the mix, Lana from Archer has to be included

Re: Off Topic 2016: Doe A Deer A Female Deer

Way too many to list. One I'll say is Heidi from Home Improvement, since I've been recording those from Hallmark Channel lately.

As for Jury Duty, well...I'll post the clip I always post:

Dana from Step by Step
